All right! Home safe.

Now you've gotten a swatch of the hair of the dog that bit you, you've gotten the "Can I Do It?" mental part out of the way.

I know that you're fighting Father Time, and wondering how many more years you can pass the physical, and want to make the best of those years.

But consider - the best way to do that is to heal up 100% and get back out. Pushing it is going to get you hurt again and it will be twice as long to get back.

It's a Catch 22 - the older you get, the longer it takes to heal, but the less time there is on the clock.

You and Jagger are biological marvels - but heal up first to where you can handle your bike by yourself, then go back out with confidence ...
